My little son was on his foot, eagerly awaiting my arrival from office for evening cricket. He did not allow me to relax for a moment, but kept on urging me to come for playing. I changed my dress and addressed his wish. Whenever I play any game, I used to play with full involvement. Hence I took the ball, and bowled at him at decent pace. He was hitting the ball well. After about 30 minutes of playing intense cricket, he said, "Dad, Let us stop the game now". I asked him "Hey but Why?Now It is just 5:30", because he would never like to finish the game before it is dark. "I got bored, dad" he said, and did not wait anymore but went into his room. I got confused and sat for while at the ground itself. After few minutes he came out of the house, well dressed, and looked outside at the other side of the road. I just watched, what he was doing. Then after few restless walks near the compound, he came back to me and said, "OK, come on dad, let us play cri...

Few days ago I had an opportunity to spend valuable time with my friend. We generally talk about the society, culture, attitudes and mind. That day it was no different and we talked about commonalities of men and women. She said, tears are inherited to women alone, but men do not shed tears. Also she substantiated her statement by saying that, men won't express their predicament but try to solve on their own. I had no choice but to agree as she had complimented men. Yesterday I had a call which urged me to visit one of my workers house. He had worked as a labourer in my earlier department. He was very obedient and highly disciplined god fearing young man. As he was well built, he used to handle even heaviest objects with ease. I had very good five years leading him at work place and helped him personally as well. Unfortunately, the department had to be closed owing to loss. I was transferred to another department, but the contract workers had lost their job. From that day onwar...

I have a feeling that, We are perceiving the world fallaciously most of the time and pass judgments. This, I feel, is the main cause for our miseries. In the course we neither trust god nor ourselves. If some activity takes place according to my wish, I feel happy and top of the world. If the activity goes against my wish, I feel unhappy and find the whole world against me. Even I doubt whether a god do exist or not. Sometimes I feel that, I have lost control of the activity and try to console myself. This is true for everyone of us, I am sure. Here I have not mentioned anything about "your wish", because "Your wish" is your "My wish". Isn't it? Hence there are only two things, My wish and Divine wish. Any activity, or happening in the world has to fall in anyone of the two categories. As I said earlier, I am on top of the world when everything happens according to my wish, but what happens if it doesn't? Should I get upset over it, or should I ac...

தாயே உனைக்கண்ட போதுதான் நான் குழந்தையென உணர்ந்தேன், கதிரே உனைக்கண்ட போதுதான் கண்களை நான் உணர்ந்தேன், பறவையே உனைக்கண்ட போதுதான் எண்ணங்களை நான் உணர்ந்தேன், நண்பனே உனைக்கண்ட போதுதான் தோள்களை நான் உணர்ந்தேன் , பெண்ணே உனைக்கண்ட போதுதான் நான் ஆண் என்பதை உணர்ந்தேன், மகனே உனைக்கண்ட போதுதான் பாசமென்பதை உணர்ந்தேன், தோழியே உனைக்கண்ட போதுதான் உள்ளமென்பதை உணர்ந்தேன், உடலே உனைக்கண்ட போதுதான் நான் உயிர் என்பதை உணர்ந்தேன்.
